Dear Friends , I am pasting you the pictures of a FAKE Order of Osmanie , If you have any questions you can ask me. Regards, Avsar Ibar

Hello , Both orders are original , ok . Both Ottoman Mint made but different periods... The one without the ribbon is guatanteed 4th class , the one with neck ribbon is 2nd or 3rd class . Good luck ! Avsar

You are welcome . The 2nd one also has some miss-aligned center problems ... All the best , Avsar

Hello Skip , The one you asked for is an Original Osmanie order , 4th class . As you mentioned the condition is average ... Best Wishes , Avsar Ibar

Yes , exactly ... perfect !!!

Hello ! Many of them made by Ottoman Mint and some rare ones made by famous foreign ( Mostly French ) order makers such as Kretly ... Halley .. Boullanger ... Avsar

That is above is a nice German Made "Liyakat Medal " , not an official Ottoman Mint made one ...

Hello , Dont worry ... It is a very nice Ottoman Made Breast Star of Medjidie . Avsar IBAR

Hello , Crimean War Period Made ... 1850ss - 1860ss ... This one made just after the British Made ones (The flat ones without any maker's mark or other marks ... ) Best Wishes , Avsar Ibar

Hello , This item ( I can NOT say it an "order" ! , it will be shame if i will ...) is ALL TOTAL FAKE . Best wishes , Avsar Ibar

Below a first class star ... and another 1st Class Set ... This time the 1st Class Breast Star is with Paste Stones .... Below , probably a European Made 2nd Class order ... Original Ribbon but in a later - Not Original Case/box. Please be note that there is NO "Wreath and Star" or "only wreath" on the reverse of the order... Also you can see that the gold center ( where the Toughra Located ) is cambered ... Not flat as in the Ottoman made ones ....

Below another 2nd Class ... Another 2nd class with Original Box and Ribbon ... And below a 3rd Class ... To COMPARE the size of 2nd Class Order (on the left) and a 1st Class Breast Star ( on the right ) , please check the below picture ...

Below is a 1st Class Special Type Breast Star . ( Only diamonds ... ) Below is a Classic 1st Class Breast Star . Below , another 2nd Class .. And a 1st Class Set ... A close up picture of 2nd class --- Diamonds and Rubies

You are welcome Gordon ! Here is the picture of a 3rd class one ... ( No stones .. No diamonds ... No rubies ... Just green and red enamels ... ) Below is a 2nd Class Order ... Below a first class Star .

Hello Gordon , It is a second class Sevkat order . 3rd class ones do not have any stones on them , you can see the Original box on the pictures but NOT correct ribbon . That incorrect ribbon is coming from a Big Imtiyaz Medal , nothing related with a Sevkat ... Best wishes , Avsar Ibar

Chris , you mean the miniatures with swords on chain ? I never see ... ( on a chain ) but , in past i saw few miniature medjidies with swords , not on a chain , single ones ...
